Do you think you’ve got what
it takes to be the latest star in street art? Today Umbro are launching a
special collaboration with Foot Locker and Secret Walls, to unearth some of the
finest fresh talent across Europe.

To celebrate a new range of
Umbro clothing that’s soon to be available in Foot Locker stores, we asked four
top artists to create the stunning poster that you can see in the video above,
which now towers over Old Street in London. Artists RIFF, ALPHA, Conzo and
McBess created the image earlier this week in a 48 hr burst of creativity, and
they’re going to help us in our search for the best new street artists across
Europe.
Now they’ve shown us their skills, it’s time for you to get involved. As Lethal Bizzle explains in the video, we want you to upload a piece of work to
our special Facebook app inspired by who you are, where you’re from, your
football culture or Umbro’s history and heritage. Using these ideas as
inspiration, we want you to create a black and white image and then upload it
here.

The four finest artists who
enter the contest will receiving special
mentoring from RIFF, ALPHA, Conzo
or McBess before taking part in a special live art battle in London later this
month hosted by none other than Lethal Bizzle. The two winners of this event
will then go head to head in a final competition to find out who is the most
talented street artist around.

There’s also a very special
prize for the artist who comes out on top – your artwork will be used in Umbro
and Foot Locker’s adverts, seen all over Europe and on our massive space in
London’s Old Street. There’s only one word to describe such a prize – DENCH.

So how can you get involved?
Just head over to our Facebook page now to upload your artwork. You’ve got
until October 17th to enter.
